Children detention camp
[edit]
In 2019, approximately 250 unaccompanied migrant children were held at a Customs and Border Patrol facility near Clint. According to authorities, children received "hygiene products and food — including new clothing, hand sanitizer, soap and water;" showers were available at least "every three days," depending on the level of crowding.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> However, other visitors to the facility, including visitors affiliated with Human Rights Watch, reported "unsanitary, crowded living conditions," in which children lacked toothbrushes, showers, and soap, and suffered from flu and lice.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref> One pediatric emergency physician described the treatment of children in the facility as reportable child neglect.<ref name=":0" />
According to the Pacific Standard, "Sarah Fabian, the senior attorney in the Department of Justice's Office of Immigration Litigation, argued that the sorts of conditions children were experiencing in Customs and Border Protection custody in Clint were perfectly legal," as "safe and sanitary" in Reno v. Flores is a vague requirement which doesn't specify toothbrushes, soap, etc.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Educational programs for children in this type of facility were canceled by the Department of Health and Human Services in June 2019.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
